Project Information
Not tiny, you understand. Just small, standing about 3-3/4".
I'm calling this one Sycamore, because it's what I wrote on it, long ago, when I turned it round and stashed it away. Not that I knew, for certain, what it was then. It came home with me along with a whole bunch of Jacaranda, Crepe Myrtle, Cape Chestnut. It could be any number of things. One branch there was, I was told was Sycamore.
It's another Pith Goblet, meaning the pith runs right up the middle of the stem. And, you know what? This time, I managed to break it. Not while I was turning it. Not while I was sanding, or finishing it. It broke when it hit the floor in the cutting-off action. The junction of the bell-shaped part of the base and the keystone-shaped part of the stem. And, guess what? Only a moment before, I had talked myownbadself out of the idea of hitting that very spot with a burning wire. Woulda gone right through it, like a hot butter through knife.
Had I made this Thing yesterday (Wednesday), I'd have called it a Momlet. 7/17 would have been Momma's 92nd birthday. But, I didn't make anything yesterday. So, "Small Goblet" it is.
Thank you. And, I apologize.
